Findings

Your bones are scattered in a boggy field -
it happens all the time.

Time is your pocket handkerchief,
your shattered wristwatch,
your best evening pants,
all reduced to insect dust.

Hundreds of years later
they discover,
a distant tooth with its crown intact,
later still, a being reports your broken jaw,
unearthed by the sludging rain.

Bit by bit your skull is discovered.

Eventually they have

The Little Tykes

The Little Tykes

The little tykes, 
They’re early trained
To hold onto little bags —
To carry their collected needs,
Or special treats,
Or found symbols of imaginings
To be kept for them alone —
In their name-labeled bags
That decades later they’ll keep
In the cabinets and closets
Of what they’ll call
As their own homes.

Questions and Findings

Loneliness doesn't
       wish me around,
       the anguish flees from me...
      The pain tells me 
      it doesn't belong to me...
      So I don't realize why I insist

River Findings

River Findings

The Ohio winds around hills
and streams down the hollows
passes steel mills, brick yards and scrap yards.
It carries tug boats, pushes barges, and hauls
black coal stripped from the mountainsides. 

The Ohio’s littered banks 
are home to train yards 
filled with graffiti-covered box cars
rusting relics of the Southern Pacific
and the Norfolk and Southern railroads.

Erector set bridges

Medical Findings

There was an old man, to the doctor he went
He needed advice, he needed to vent
He read that he mustn’t have too much to eat
Or his good health, that would surely defeat.

No sugar, but substitutes would be fine
No diet drinks, or beer, or even wine
He stressed out and tried to listen so well
And followed the

Jupiter Findings

Jupiter Findings
~

Here at the edge,
evening’s farewell drapes
a horizon’d neckline

crimson scarves
weave nature’s portals above
chilled coastal dreams

where weathered planks, 
saltwater worn, reach
in straight line destinations

from shore to sea
and back again,
silently as

reflections of
distant landscapes and 
yesterday longings

gather neath a
heart shaped halo
sent to find…you

Divine Findings

Come now and follow me into the depths of my sacrifice 
What a lapse you have made to think I put My life before your life

How great is your strong arm and how far do you think that it reaches
You can't carry the weight of your flesh; it has ground you to pieces

I was born

Facebook Findings

Press and like the number five.

Jane the virgin on Twitter

This spoon takes away
the effects of the shakes

When you get fresh sheets
and you just shaved your legs.

This dude spent eight years
growing a chair

Shannon has exactly 200 friends.

Kakistocracy- government by
the worst available people.

You are convicted by your complicity.

Did Jesus leave us a tip to diabetes?

This is

Memoric Findings

I'm alone again oddly I'm not lonely 
French guards beckons my thoughts 
while British chemist crave my mind 
creating formula's mastering tampering 
with inner most thought's I suppose 
I hear folks chattering a quaint theory 
a carney lure of tyrants and folklore 
balanced between a quiet energy 
nestled so beneath a poet's memoric form

Findings

Seek what was lost
With profound tact;
Bear with the cost
As findings fact.


Look closer then
To check things out;
You know not when
Findings hurl shouts.


Search deeper still
To hidden gems;
Wear a straight will
That cracks the dam.


Find in sure form
The misplaced stuff;
Stretch a new norm
To fund enough.


See the sure poise
That styles fine takes;
Heed your heart's choice
As voice now makes.
